Read Book Review

The one thing we as individuals have always sought and often are met with heartbreak is true love. The overwhelming passion, the heartfelt emotional connection formed between two people, and the blossoming love which comes from the most unexpected of places all help to highlight the overwhelming passion and heart of that grand emotional love.

In author Jennifer Westecott’s Heartbreak Falls, a young woman meets a mysterious man while picking out a dress for her sister’s betrothal ball. Having given up on true love, the woman finds herself falling for the mystery man and her heart melting as their romance heats up and blossoms. Soon the young couple finds their lives becoming more and more intertwined, as their love story grows and blooms at Heartbreak Falls.

The author did a remarkable and thoughtful job of crafting a narrative that felt authentic and real to the reader. The passionate and compelling relationship between Camille and Gustav was exhilarating to say the least. The family dynamics within Camille’s own family and the way Gustav integrates into their lives was thrilling to see come to life on the page, and the balance of romance and mystery brought this narrative to life greatly after the revelation of a shocking murder. The imagery and atmosphere really brought Heartbreak Falls to life, allowing the family estate and the romance between these characters to shine brightly as their individual stories grew and evolved over time.

This is the perfect read for those who enjoy romance novels, especially those which involve genres of fiction and mystery novel elements to the narrative. The way the author was able to hone in on the complex character dynamics not only between the two protagonists, but everyone within the Bradley family was fantastic. The emotional core of these relationships, as well as the shock of the developing events surrounding this large family and the thoughtless act of violence that took one of them away from the others kept the reader invested in the narrative and the author’s fantastic writing style.

Memorable, entertaining, and captivating, author Jennifer Westecott’s Heartbreak Falls is a must-read romance novel. The detailed and compelling character arcs and dynamics, along with the shocking twists and turns in the narrative, and the fantastic word-building that allowed these relationships to bloom and grow throughout the novel made this one book readers will have a hard time parting ways with.
